Star Trek

Just saw the new Star Trek movie with jedibuttercup. One word: AWESOME! They managed to make it cool and hip and new while still hitting every single mark that an old school Trekkie will be looking for. And the casting was awesome. Two thumbs up!

To those who complain about the main pairing of the new Star Trek movie

There are those who complain about the romantic relationship in the new movie, saying it's not true to the original series. I present here a clip from TOS to the contrary:

( Spoilers for new movie! )

Basically, while they weren't in a relationship in TOS there was definitely chemistry ... and I can look at these scenes and believe they have a history.
